The apparatus takes the form of a catheter system that includes a vascular stent, a stent delivery catheter and an integrated embolic protection filter. Optionally, the catheter system will also include a combination stent pusher and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon catheter. Alternatively, a simple stent pusher catheter can be provided and a separate PTA balloon catheter can be used for post dilatation if desired. The stent is preferably a self-expanding stent, but the catheter system can also be adapted for use of a balloon-expandable stent. The apparatus and methods of the invention are particularly useful for treating atherosclerotic disease of the carotid arteries, but can also be adapted for treating other areas of the vascular system.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a first embodiment of the stent delivery and embolic protection catheter system of the present invention which comprises a distal portion D and a proximal portion P where is located for instance a connector. The distal portion D of the catheter system is shown in an undeployed position. The catheter system includes avascular stent 1, which is preferably a self-expanding stent, astent delivery catheter 2, an integratedembolic protection filter 3 and, optionally, a combination stent pusher andPTA balloon catheter 4. - The
stent 1 can be any know configuration of self-expanding vascular stent, for example a woven braided tubular stent of stainless steel, phynox, cobalt-chromium alloy or nickel-titanium alloy wire. The stent can also be formed by cutting a pattern of struts or supports out of a metallic tube or a metallic sheet, which is subsequently formed into tube or helix. Alternatively, the stent can be formed of a polymer or polymer composite. The stent can be coated or impregnated with an antiproliferative drug or other medication to prevent restenosis and/or thrombosis of the artery or other target vessel after treatment. - The
embolic protection filter 3 is also preferably self-expanding so that the stent and filter can be deployed simultaneously with one simple motion and without requiring complicated manipulations by the user. Alternatively, the embolic protection filter can be manually deployable. The exemplaryembolic protection filter 3 shown is configured as an umbrella with resilient radial struts 5 that support afilter mesh 6. The radial struts can be made of a resilient metal, such as stainless steel, cobalt-chromium alloy or nickel-titanium alloy wire, polymer or alloys and/or composites thereof. Thestruts 5 are attached in a radially extending configuration to asupport shaft 7, such as the shaft of a steerable guidewire or the like. Preferably, the guidewire has a floppydistal part 8 to assist the catheter system to navigate through the vascular system and to cross the stenosis in the target artery. Thefilter mesh 6 is a flexible porous membrane of a polymer and/or metal and may be formed by weaving, or otherwise joining, fibers and/or wires into a membrane or by perforating a polymer or metal sheet. The filter mesh will preferably have a high percentage of open space so that it does not hinder blood flow through the vessel when deployed and will have a pore size chosen to capture potential emboli of a significant size that might cause damage in the cerebral vasculature. Pore size is preferably between 20 and 300 microns, more preferably between 60 and 100 microns. - Alternative configurations of the self-expanding embolic protection filter can include a conical or sac-shaped filter mesh supported by a resilient wire loop, which is attached to a guidewire shaft or the like.
- The embolic protection filter is positioned within a distal portion of the self-expanding stent (see
FIG. 2 ), then the stent and the embolic protection filter are radially compressed and inserted into the lumen of the stent delivery catheter, as shown inFIG. 1 . Thestent delivery catheter 2 is typically a thin-walled tubular plastic sheath. Suitable materials for the stent delivery catheter include, but are not limited to, polyimide, polyamide, polyethylene, polypropylene, fluoropolymers (e.g. PTFE, FEP, PFA, etc.) and copolymers, alloys and/or composites thereof. - The
PTA balloon catheter 4 is inserted into the lumen of the stent delivery catheter proximal to the compressed stent and filter. The PTA balloon catheter preferably is configured with a distal shoulder that allows it to serve as a stent pusher catheter as well, thereby simplifying the catheter system and the method of treatment. The stent and filter are deployed by pushing the stent out of the distal end of the stent delivery catheter using the distal shoulder of the combination stent pusher and PTA balloon catheter.FIG. 2 shows the catheter system ofFIG. 1 in a partially deployed position. The self-expanding filter is passively deployed along with the stent, using one simple motion and without requiring complicated manipulations by the user. Because the embolic protection filter is deployed within the lumen of the stent, the potential complication of distal carotid artery spasm is avoided. - If desired, the PTA balloon catheter is advanced out of the stent delivery catheter and the balloon is inflated to perform a post-stenting angioplasty of any residual stenosis. The balloon is then deflated and the PTA balloon catheter is withdrawn into the stent delivery catheter.
- Advantageously, the catheter system will include a mechanism for refolding or collapsing the embolic protection filter at the completion of the stenting procedure. In one exemplary embodiment, the catheter system includes a
small diameter tube 9, for example an approximately 0.014 inch diameter metal or plastic tube, which is connected to the outer tips of the filter struts by connectingwires 10. By pushing on the shaft or stylet of the guidewire and pulling on thetube 9, the filter can be collapsed to a small enough diameter to withdraw it into the guiding catheter used to deliver the catheter system to the target artery.FIG. 3 shows the embolic protection filter being refolded for withdrawal from the stent after deployment. -
FIGS. 4-8 illustrate a second embodiment of the stent delivery and embolic protection catheter system of the present invention with the additional feature of a floating embolic protection filter.FIG. 4 shows the catheter system in an undeployed position. The self-expandingstent 1 and theembolic protection filter 3 are deployed similarly to the first embodiment described above.FIG. 5 shows the catheter system ofFIG. 4 in a partially deployed position. The floating embolic protection filter allows theguidewire 7 to be manipulated independently of thefilter 3 during insertion of the catheter system. It also helps to avoid accidental dislodgement of the filter after deployment by allowing a range of free play between the filter and guidewire on which it is mounted. If desired, theguidewire 7 can be inserted separately from the rest of catheter system and followed up with thefilter 3 and thestent delivery catheter 2. Thus, the same guidewire could be used to guide insertion of a pre-dilatation catheter, the stent delivery catheter and, optionally, a post-dilatation catheter. - Optionally, the fixed position or floating embolic protection filter can be inserted into a distal portion of the stent prior to compressing it into the undeployed position within the lumen of the stent delivery catheter so that the
filter 3 will deploy automatically upon deployment of thestent 1, as shown inFIG. 1-2 or 4-5. Alternatively, the embolic protection filter can be positioned distal to the stent within the lumen of the stent delivery catheter so that the filter can be automatically deployed upon deployment of the stent or deployed manually within the target vessel before deploying the stent. - The fixed-position or floating embolic protection filter can also be used separately from the catheter system or adapted to provide embolic protection with other catheters and catheter systems. For example, the floating embolic protection filter could be adapted for use with a balloon expandable stent delivery system.
-
FIG. 6 shows the embolic protection filter in a deployed position within the lumen of the deployed vascular stent. Anactuation member 12 with an outer diameter d1, which is slightly larger than the outer diameter d2 of the shaft or stylet of theguidewire 7, is attached to the shaft or stylet of the guidewire. Advantageously, theactuation member 12 can be configured as a radiopaque marker band attached to the shaft or stylet of the guidewire, as shown. Alternatively, an increased diameter portion of the guidewire shaft or the floppy distal portion of the guidewire may serve as an actuation member. - The radial filter struts 5 are attached to a
distal filter cylinder 13, which has an inner diameter D1 slightly larger than the outer diameter d1 of the actuation member. Similarly, the connectingwires 10 of thefilter 3 are connected to aproximal filter cylinder 14, which has an inner diameter D2 slightly smaller than the outer diameter d1 of the actuation member. Because the inner diameters of the distal filter cylinder D1 and the proximal filter cylinder D2 are larger than the outer diameter d2 of the shaft or stylet of the guidewire, thefilter 3 is free to float, i.e. move longitudinally, with respect to theguidewire 7 and vice versa. The movement of the filter in the distal direction is limited by the fact that the outer diameter d1 of theactuation member 12 is larger than the inner diameter D2 of theproximal filter cylinder 14. - Optionally, the embolic protection filter may be initially configured with the
proximal filter cylinder 14 adjacent to the distal filter cylinder 13 (seeFIG. 6 ), which allows a slightly smaller undeployed diameter of the catheter system. -
FIGS. 6-8 show the embolic protection filter being refolded for withdrawal from the stent after deployment. Starting from the deployed position inFIG. 6 , theguidewire 7 is withdrawn proximally until theactuation member 12 engages theproximal filter cylinder 13. The proximal filter cylinder moves proximally with respect to the filter, which is held in place by friction with the deployed stent. The connectingwires 10 move into a position effective for refolding thefilter 3, as shown inFIG. 7 . Next, the guiding catheter or a separate filter retrieval catheter is advanced distally while maintaining tension on theguidewire 7, as shown inFIG. 8 . The filter folds as it is withdrawn into the lumen of the guidingcatheter 2 or a separate filter retrieval catheter. If a separate filter retrieval catheter is used it may be configured as an over-the-wire or rapid exchange catheter. - The
embolic protection filter 3 can be configured to facilitate refolding of the filter. A smooth transition between the connecting wires and the radial struts of the filter will help the filter slide smoothly into the lumen of the guiding catheter when tension is applied to the connecting wires through the proximal filter cylinder. Additionally, if the connectingwires 10 are optionally configured to have a higher bending stiffness than the filter struts, the connecting wires will act as levers to push the filter toward a closed position as the connecting wires are withdrawn into the lumen of the guiding catheter. -
FIG. 9 illustrates a third embodiment of the stent delivery and embolic protection catheter system with asoft tip 15 attached to the embolic protection filter. This optional feature may be combined with the features of any of the other embodiments described herein. The soft tip provides a smooth transition on the distal end of the stent delivery catheter during insertion of the catheter system. In one exemplary embodiment shown inFIG. 9 , thesoft tip 15 is positioned distally of thecompressed stent 1 in the undeployed position. Suitable materials for the soft tip include, but are not limited to, polyamide, polyamide copolymers (e.g. PEBAX), polyurethane, silicone, Kraton, polyethylene, ethylene vinyl acetate, polypropylene, fluoropolymers (e.g. PTFE, FEP, PFA, etc.) and copolymers, alloys and/or composites thereof. -
FIG. 10 illustrates an alternative configuration of the stent delivery and embolic protection catheter system with asoft tip 15. In this embodiment, the soft tip is positioned inside a distal portion of the compressed stent when in the undeployed position. -
FIG. 11 is an enlarged detail drawing of the soft tip of the embolic protection filter. The distal end of the soft tip has a conical or bullet-shaped exterior that is sized to provide a smooth transition with the distal end of the stent delivery catheter. Alumen 16 extends through the soft tip to accommodate the shaft of theguidewire 7 on which the embolic protection filter is mounted. If the catheter system uses a fixed position filter, then the lumen can have a tight fit on the shaft of the guidewire. If the catheter system uses a floating filter, then the lumen should be large enough in diameter to allow passage of the actuation member on the shaft of the guidewire. Preferably, aninternal cone 17 is provided on the distal end of the lumen to facilitate entry and passage of the actuation member. -
FIG. 12 shows the catheter system ofFIG. 9 in a deployed position with the expanded embolic protection filter with a soft tip positioned within the lumen of the expanded stent. -
FIG. 13 shows a floating embolic protection filter with a soft tip being refolded and withdrawn into the lumen of the guiding catheter for withdrawal from the stent after deployment. - While the present invention has been described herein with respect to the exemplary embodiments and the best mode for practicing the invention, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that many modifications, improvements and subcombinations of the various embodiments, adaptations and variations can be made to the invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
